After reports of a truce between the World Cup winner and Mourinho this week, Pogba has been stirring it again, suggesting he could leave Old Trafford within months.

The £89million star said: “My future is currently in Manchester, I still have a contract, I’m playing there at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the next few months.”

But Allardyce told talkSPORT Pogba is trying to cause trouble to get out of Old Trafford and insists executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and the club must stop the player and his agent Mino Raiola’s games.

Experienced Allardyce reckons the international break can be a nightmare for club bosses and thinks Mourinho should put his foot down and fine Pogba when he returns from France duty.

He added: “You always hear it on an international break, and then you will always hear they’ve been misinterpreted when they get back.

“But they haven’t been misinterpreted, they haven’t.

“I always said to my players before they went, ‘While you’re on international duty do not comment about the football club, just concentrate on your country and don’t contribute anything that may end up being controversial’.

“We have a code of conduct and if they break that code of conduct while they are away, for me, they get a fine.”

After a much-needed win at Burnley, United go to Vicarage Road to face unbeaten Watford next Saturday evening.
